Our verdict on each
LONGER
LONGER suits makers who want filament printing, resin printing and laser engraving from a single supplier, so a workshop can cover prototyping and marking rather than splitting them up. The laser line pairs 40 W of output with a 450 mm work area and 600 mm/s movement speed.
Sculpfun
Sculpfun puts an enclosed 70 watt laser engraver on the market from $99, and its 830 mm bed is far larger than most rivals at that money. It suits makers buying their first engraver on a tight budget, and buyers who need multi colour or longer cover should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons
LONGER
Pros
- Build size of 450 mm ranks 9 of 23 in the site's build size comparison.
- Movement speed of 600 mm/s pairs with 40 W of output on the listed laser.
- Support runs on email, phone and help centre, giving email, phone, a help centre and community routes.
Cons
- The listed laser is not enclosed, so extraction and fume control sit outside the frame.
- Shipping covers US only, so buyers in other markets sit outside the listed policy.
- Warranty of 1 year is a shorter term than the longest warranty years in the printer category, 3.
Sculpfun
Pros
- Entry price of $99 puts a 70 watt engraver within reach of a first project, ranking 2 of 27 on price.
- A 830 mm work area ranks 2 of 23 and sits well above the 390 mm typical across the site.
- The chamber is enclosed, so the beam and the smoke it makes stay in the frame while a 70 watt module runs.
Cons
- Multi colour is a no for the range, and 50% of this group sit in the same spot, so a two shade design needs separate passes.
- Warranty is 1 year, level with the 1 median here, and the ranking on cover length is 5 of 20.
- Support runs on email, chat and help centre only, while 53.9% of brands site wide add a phone line.
Who each suits
LONGER
Who it suits
- Makers who want filament, resin and laser work from a single supplier
- Buyers who want phone and email help as well as a help centre
- US shoppers, since the shipping policy lists US
Who should look elsewhere
- SOVOL, for filament printing with no laser work, since its listed range is fdm printer.
- MatterHackers, when a scanner or a cutting machine is wanted alongside the printer, since its listed types are fdm printer, resin printer and 3d scanner.
- Farnell, for a printing only catalogue, since its range is fdm printer and 3d scanner.
Sculpfun
Who it suits
- Makers who want a large enclosed bed and can live with single colour work.
- First-time buyers, for whom $99 and 1 year cover keep the commitment small next to a workshop bundle from MatterHackers.
- Shoppers in the UK, the US and wider Europe who want laser engraving rather than the cutting machines Cricut sells.
Who should look elsewhere
- Projects needing more than one colour in a pass, since multi colour is a no here; ACMER covers laser engraver and cutting machine for a wider machine mix.
- Workshops that want printers and scanners alongside an engraver, since MatterHackers covers fdm printer, resin printer and 3d scanner in a single maker range.

Questions about each
LONGER
What does a LONGER machine cost to start with?+
Machines start from $109.99, listed on the laser engraver side of the catalogue. That figure is the price of the machine itself, and no renewal charge is listed alongside it, so the budget is a one off purchase. On the site's price ranking the brand sits at 5 of 27, among the cheaper entry points compared here.
How long is the warranty on a LONGER machine?+
The published warranty term is 1 year. That places the brand at 5 of 20 on the site's warranty comparison, above the middle of the field. Buyers who expect a machine to run for years can weigh that term against the longest warranty years in the printer category, 3.
Sculpfun
How much does a Sculpfun laser engraver cost?+
Sculpfun lists an entry price of $99 for the engraver range, and that is the figure to weigh first, since a laser engraver is a hardware purchase rather than a plan with a renewal charge. The 70 watt module is what that entry point covers, with a 1 year warranty attached.
How big is the work area on a Sculpfun engraver?+
The bed is 830 mm, large enough for full sheet material rather than small tiles. Across the brands compared here the median build area is 390 mm, and Sculpfun ranks 2 of 23 on that measure, so the size is a real step up and not a rounding difference.
